The only thing worse than these is the High School Musical craze.
In our house, when an ad comes on the tv for it, my son starts growling, mumbling what I think are obscenities under his breath, and screaming for me to change the channel. My daughter then starts laughing about the Vanessa Anne Hudgens pics scandal...
Well, I've learned 2 things I didn't know as a child...
1. Don't depend on other people for help. Not that it isn't nice, but if you do something for yourself, and things work out, there's the sense of achievement, and if they go wrong, there's no one else to blame.
2. It's not major events that usually change the direction of your life, but the small insignificant things, e.g. you go down one street instead of another, and meet someone who becomes a great friend, the next love of your life, your nemisis etc. Change often comes from the strangest of sources.
I thought I'd be an Air Force pilot, a rocket scientist or a rock star. I have vertigo, I was lazy at school, still haven't given up on the last one! I build and repair PCs, and also web site programming.
I thought I'd be married with 2 kids, one of each, a super-model wife, living in a mansion with a lamborghini out the front. I got the 2 kids, yes, one of each, a crazy ex, I live in a 3-bedroom semi in town, and I cycle a mountain bike.
I thought I'd have my house filled with gadgets, that one held true.
I thought even though I would be an adult, I'd have still maintained some of my childhood innocence, a small bit is left but it's protected by a certain sense of mistrust and isolation.
I would have preferred it things had worked out a bit better over the years, but for the most part I'm happy, til somone REALLY annoys me, at which point I want to reach for my sword...
